Sinfonia 2007

Once upon a time.
There was a boy.
Once troubled by his lost.
The lost of his other half.
Sank into a dimension of despair and darkness.
He thought that his life went back to that unnerving state of loneliness again.

Then there he was.
Walking aimlessly in the streets.
Amongst crowds whom he have never seen before.
Being alone in an unknown world.
It’s rather a depressing feeling.

Just when he was going back to that familiar corner.
Memories flooded his mind.
Good ones, bad ones…
Those that he didn’t even want to remember.
Those that he wanted to keep away from.
Memories.

Reminiscing on them, he realized that he hasn’t really moved on from where he left off the previous time.
Is this really what he has aimed to do?
Is this what she wanted him to be?
Just lurking around the old memories?

Just then, out of the darkness.
An arm stretched out towards the confused boy.
“Here, come out from there.” A voice said.

Still caught in a paradox of confusion, the boy just grabbed the hand and hauled himself out of the corner.
Adjusting to the light, he saw the owner of the helping hand.
Before he could react, the girl said something.
“Rather than thinking about the past, would you create new memories and a brand new future with me?”

At that moment, the cloud of confusion surrounding the boy disappeared.
Darkness changed to light.
Despair changed to hope.
Seems like the boy was given another chance.

As the boy stared into the sky.
He said a silent prayer.
“Thanks. I appreciated the opportunity that you’ve given me-..”
Before he could finish, the girl pulled the boy’s hand and ran into the sunset.

Been doing a lot of work lately.
Then suddenly I had this urge to write another story.
Ahaha
It’s these random moments that I enjoy the most.
Random story lines just pop in and a story just flow out like that.
I might further it into a book.
Maybe.
Maybe after I learn how to draw human figures.
I have gotten rather rusty at that.
Really rusty.
My proportioning has really gone off...
Waaaay off.
I guess too much abstract art isn’t really good for me.
Everything is well…abstract.
Ahaha…
Nvm.
I shouldn’t be pushing away my own faults.

Sinfonia 2007 ended last Friday.
It was my first sinfonia.
And laoshi’s last sinfonia.
Although I've only spent a short time with him.
He is really good.
I didn’t really enjoy him scolding me but they do make sense.
Without him, I doubt I would have been able to play the alto clarinet properly.
I can still remember him telling me to play more fuller.
Thanks for everything.

I am still rather curious to who the new conductor will be.
Will I continue playing the alto clarinet?
There are still many many questions that I want answers to.
But I guess the answers will come in due time.

Now my current worry is that whether I am able to finish up my work in time.
All the preparations for Sinfonia really cut my assignment time.
Now I gotta catch up.
Mainly in drawing.

I think its long enough.
Time to go for lecture already.
Ahaha
Until another time ya?
